INN Hotels Project¶

Context¶

A significant number of hotel bookings are called-off due to cancellations or no-shows. The typical reasons for cancellations include change of plans, scheduling conflicts, etc. This is often made easier by the option to do so free of charge or preferably at a low cost which is beneficial to hotel guests but it is a less desirable and possibly revenue-diminishing factor for hotels to deal with. Such losses are particularly high on last-minute cancellations.

The new technologies involving online booking channels have dramatically changed customers’ booking possibilities and behavior. This adds a further dimension to the challenge of how hotels handle cancellations, which are no longer limited to traditional booking and guest characteristics.

The cancellation of bookings impact a hotel on various fronts:

  • Loss of resources (revenue) when the hotel cannot resell the room.
  • Additional costs of distribution channels by increasing commissions or paying for publicity to help sell these rooms.
  • Lowering prices last minute, so the hotel can resell a room, resulting in reducing the profit margin.
  • Human resources to make arrangements for the guests.

Objective¶

The increasing number of cancellations calls for a Machine Learning based solution that can help in predicting which booking is likely to be canceled. INN Hotels Group has a chain of hotels in Portugal, they are facing problems with the high number of booking cancellations and have reached out to your firm for data-driven solutions. You as a data scientist have to analyze the data provided to find which factors have a high influence on booking cancellations, build a predictive model that can predict which booking is going to be canceled in advance, and help in formulating profitable policies for cancellations and refunds.

Data Description¶

The data contains the different attributes of customers' booking details. The detailed data dictionary is given below.

Data Dictionary

  • repeated_guest: Is the customer a repeated guest? (0 - No, 1- Yes)
  • no_of_previous_cancellations: Number of previous bookings that were canceled by the customer prior to the current booking
  • no_of_previous_bookings_not_canceled: Number of previous bookings not canceled by the customer prior to the current booking
  • avg_price_per_room: Average price per day of the reservation; prices of the rooms are dynamic. (in euros)
  • no_of_special_requests: Total number of special requests made by the customer (e.g. high floor, view from the room, etc)
  • booking_status: Flag indicating if the booking was canceled or not.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)¶

  • EDA is an important part of any project involving data.
  • It is important to investigate and understand the data better before building a model with it.
  • A few questions have been mentioned below which will help you approach the analysis in the right manner and generate insights from the data.
  • A thorough analysis of the data, in addition to the questions mentioned below, should be done.

Leading Questions:

  1. What are the busiest months in the hotel?
  2. Which market segment do most of the guests come from?
  3. Hotel rates are dynamic and change according to demand and customer demographics. What are the differences in room prices in different market segments?
  4. What percentage of bookings are canceled?
  5. Repeating guests are the guests who stay in the hotel often and are important to brand equity. What percentage of repeating guests cancel?
  6. Many guests have special requirements when booking a hotel room. Do these requirements affect booking cancellation?

  • 17094 guests made at least one day booking at the hote, in which 6115 bookings were canceled.
  • Most guests made 3 or 4 days booking, their cancellation rate is relatively lower than those with booking of longer days.
  • There are higher cancellation rate for those total days over 6 days.
  • For those total booking days over 9 days, the cancellation rate is high, compared with those booking days below 5 days.

It is important to have repeated guests to stay in the hotel often for customer royalty.

  • Repeated guests made total 930 bookings, only 16 bookings were cancelled.
  • Cancellation percentage for repeated guests = (16 / 930) * 100 = ~ 1.7%
  • non-repeated guests made total 35345 bookings, in which there are 11869 bookings cancelled.
  • This indicates that repeated guests show a greater commitment on their booking.

  • There were 36,275 bookings in total. Out of these, 24,390 bookings had a booking status of 0 (not cancelled), and 11,885 bookings had a booking status of 1 (cancelled).

  • The month with the highest number of bookings was October (arrival_month = 10) with 5,317 bookings. Out of these, 3,437 had a booking status of 0 (not cancelled), and 1,880 had a booking status of 1 (cancelled). The month with the second-highest number of bookings was September (arrival_month = 9) with 4,611 bookings. Out of these, 3,073 had a booking status of 0 (not cancelled), and 1,538 had a booking status of 1 (cancelled).

  • The month with the lowest number of bookings was January (arrival_month = 1) with 1,014 bookings. Out of these, 990 had a booking status of 0 (not cancelled), and only 24 had a booking status of 1 (cancelled).

  • These numbers provide insights into the booking and cancellation patterns across different months.

Data Preprocessing¶

  • Missing value treatment (if needed)
  • Feature engineering (if needed)
  • Outlier detection and treatment (if needed)
  • Preparing data for modeling
  • Any other preprocessing steps (if needed)

Outlier Check¶

In [65]:
# outlier detection using boxplot
numeric_columns = data.select_dtypes(include=np.number).columns.tolist()
# dropping booking_status
numeric_columns.remove("booking_status")

plt.figure(figsize=(15, 12))

for i, variable in enumerate(numeric_columns):
    plt.subplot(4, 4, i + 1)
    plt.boxplot(data[variable], whis=1.5)
    plt.tight_layout()
    plt.title(variable)

plt.show()

Observations

There are some outliers in the data. However, we will not treat them as they are proper values

Model Building¶

Model evaluation criterion¶

Model can make wrong predictions as:

  1. Predicting a customer will not cancel their booking but in reality, the customer will cancel their booking.
  2. Predicting a customer will cancel their booking but in reality, the customer will not cancel their booking.

Which case is more important?

  • If we predict that a booking will not be canceled and the booking gets canceled then the hotel will lose resources and will have to bear additional costs of distribution channels.

  • If we predict that a booking will get canceled and the booking doesn't get canceled the hotel might not be able to provide satisfactory services to the customer by assuming that this booking will be canceled. This might damage the brand equity.

How to reduce the losses?

  • Hotel would want F1 Score to be maximized, greater the F1 score higher are the chances of minimizing False Negatives and False Positives.

First, let's create functions to calculate different metrics and confusion matrix so that we don't have to use the same code repeatedly for each model.

The model_performance_classification_statsmodels function will be used to check the model performance of models.

The confusion_matrix_statsmodels function will be used to plot the confusion matrix.

Logistic Regression (with statsmodels library)¶

Data Preparation for modeling (Logistic Regression)¶

We want to predict which bookings will be canceled.

Before we proceed to build a model, we'll have to encode categorical features.

We'll split the data into train and test to be able to evaluate the model that we build on the train data.

In [69]:
X = data.drop(["booking_status"], axis=1)
Y = data["booking_status"]

# adding constant
X = sm.add_constant(X)

# create dummies for X
X = pd.get_dummies(X, drop_first=True)

# Splitting data in train and test sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
    X, Y, test_size=0.30, random_state=1
)

print("Shape of Training set : ", X_train.shape)
print("Shape of test set : ", X_test.shape)
print("Percentage of classes in training set:")
print(y_train.value_counts(normalize=True))
print("Percentage of classes in test set:")
print(y_test.value_counts(normalize=True))
Shape of Training set :  (25392, 28)
Shape of test set :  (10883, 28)
Percentage of classes in training set:
0   0.67064
1   0.32936
Name: booking_status, dtype: float64
Percentage of classes in test set:

Observations

Negative values of the coefficient shows that the probability of a hotel booking being cancelled decreases with the increase of corresponding attribute value.

Positive values of the coefficient show that that probability of a hotel booking being cancelled increases with the increase of corresponding attribute value.

p-value of a variable indicates if the variable is significant or not. If we consider the significance level to be 0.05 (5%), then any variable with a p-value less than 0.05 would be considered significant. However, these variables might contain multicollinearity, which will affect the p-values.

We will have to remove multicollinearity from the data to get reliable coefficients and p-values.

  • General Rule of thumb: If VIF is between 1 and 5, then there is low multicollinearity. If VIF is between 5 and 10, we say there is moderate multicollinearity. If VIF is exceeding 10, it shows signs of high multicollinearity.
  • the variables with VIF values above 10 from the list

  • market_segment_type_Corporate: VIF = 16.92829

  • market_segment_type_Offline: VIF = 64.11564
  • market_segment_type_Online: VIF = 71.18026

These variables indicate high multicollinearity.

Dropping high p-value variables

We will drop the predictor variables having a p-value greater than 0.05 as they do not significantly impact the target variable.

But sometimes p-values change after dropping a variable. So, we'll not drop all variables at once. Instead, we will do the following: Build a model, check the p-values of the variables, and drop the column with the highest p-value.

Create a new model without the dropped feature, check the p-values of the variables, and drop the column with the highest p-value. Repeat the above two steps till there are no columns with p-value > 0.05.

The above process can also be done manually by picking one variable at a time that has a high p-value, dropping it, and building a model again. But that might be a little tedious and using a loop will be more efficient.

After dropping the variables with high p-values, the performance on the training data remains closely the same as before.

Coefficient Interpretations¶

  • a positive coefficient, like the one for "lead_time" (0.0157), suggests that an increase in the "lead_time" variable leads to an increase in the log-odds of booking cancellation. In simpler terms, as the lead time between booking and arrival increases, the probability of a cancellation tends to increase.

  • Conversely, a negative coefficient, like the one for "required_car_parking_space" , suggests that having a required car parking space decreases the booking cancellation. In other words, guests who require a parking space are less likely to cancel.

  • The coefficients for categorical variables, such as "type_of_meal_plan" and "room_type_reserved," indicate each category positively affects the booking cancellation compared to the reference category. In other words, an increase in these will lead to an increase in booking cancellation rate.

Converting coefficients to odds¶

The coefficients (βs) of the logistic regression model are in terms of log(odds) and to find the odds, we have to take the exponential of the coefficients.

Therefore, odds=exp(β)

The percentage change in odds is given as (exp(β)−1)∗100

In [78]:
# converting coefficients to odds
odds = np.exp(lg1.params)

# finding the percentage change
perc_change_odds = (np.exp(lg1.params) - 1) * 100

# removing limit from number of columns to display
pd.set_option("display.max_columns", None)

# adding the odds to a dataframe
pd.DataFrame({"Odds": odds, "Change_odd%": perc_change_odds}, index=X_train1.columns).T

Coefficient interpretations¶

  • no_of_adults: The odds ratio is approximately 1.11491. This means that for each additional adult in the booking, the odds of cancellation increase by about 11.49%.

  • required_car_parking_space: The odds ratio is approximately 0.20296. This suggests that if a guest requires a car parking space (compared to not requiring it), the odds of cancellation decrease by approximately 79.70%. In other words, guests who need parking spaces are significantly less likely to cancel their bookings.

  • repeated_guest: The odds ratio for "repeated_guest" is approximately 0.06478. This odds ratio implies that if a guest is a repeated guest (compared to non-repeated guest), the odds of cancellation decrease by approximately 93.52%. In other words, repeated guests are significantly less likely to cancel their bookings compared to non-repeated guests.

  • market_segment_type_Corporate: The odds ratio is approximately 0.45326. This indicates that bookings made through the "Corporate" market segment (compared to other market segments) are associated with a decrease in the odds of cancellation by about 54.67%. Corporate bookings are less likely to be canceled.

  • market_segment_type_Offline: The odds ratio is approximately 0.16773. Bookings made offline (compared to other market segments) have lower odds of cancellation by about 83.23%

  • lead_time: The odds ratio is approximately 1.01583. For each additional day of lead time (the time between booking and arrival), the odds of cancellation increase by about 1.58%.

  • arrival_year: The odds ratio is approximately 1.57195. An increase in the arrival year is associated with an increase in the odds of cancellation by about 57.20%.

  • no_of_previous_cancellations: The odds ratio is approximately 1.25712. Each additional previous cancellation increases the odds of cancellation by about 25.71%.

  • avg_price_per_room: The odds ratio is approximately 1.01937. An increase in the average price per room leads to an increase in the odds of cancellation by about 1.94%.

  • no_of_special_requests: The odds ratio is approximately 1.17846. Each additional special request increases the odds of cancellation by about 17.85%.

  • type_of_meal_plan_Not Selected: The odds ratio is approximately 1.33109, indicating that bookings with "Not Selected" meal plans have higher odds of cancellation compared to the reference category (other meal plans).

Observations from Logistic Regression model

We have been able to build a predictive model that can be used by the hotel to predict which bookings are likely to be cancelled with an F1 score of 0.68 on the training set and formulate marketing policies accordingly. The logistic regression modelscan give a generalized performance on training and test set.

  • Using the model with default threshold the model will give

    • Highest accuracy

    • Highest precision

    • Moderate recall

    • Balanced F1 score

This model has the highest precision, meaning that when it predicts a booking as cancelled, it's most likely to be correct. If minimizing false positives (incorrectly predicting cancellations).

  • Using the model with 0.37 Threshold the model will give

    • Highest recall

    • Moderate accuracy

    • Lower precision

    • High F1 score

This model is optimized for capturing cancellations, as it has the highest recall but lower precision. The hotel will be able to save resources by correctly predicting the bookings which are likely to be cancelled but might damage the brand equity.

  • Using the model with 0.42 Threshold the model will give
    • Balanced accuracy
    • Balanced recall and precision
    • Balanced F1 score

This model strikes a balance between recall and precision. This model performs reasonably well in both identifying cancellations and minimizing false positives. The hotel will maintain a balance between resources and brand equity.

Decision Tree¶

Data Preparation for modeling (Decision Tree)

We want to predict which bookings will be canceled. Before we proceed to build a model, we'll have to encode categorical features. We'll split the data into train and test to be able to evaluate the model that we build on the train data.

In [99]:
X = data.drop(["booking_status"], axis=1)
Y = data["booking_status"]

X = pd.get_dummies(X, drop_first=True)

# Splitting data in train and test sets in the ratio 70:30 with random_state = 1
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
    X, Y, test_size=0.30, random_state=1
)
In [100]:
print("Shape of Training set : ", X_train.shape)
print("Shape of test set : ", X_test.shape)
print("Percentage of classes in training set:")
print(y_train.value_counts(normalize=True))
print("Percentage of classes in test set:")
print(y_test.value_counts(normalize=True))
Shape of Training set :  (25392, 27)
Shape of test set :  (10883, 27)
Percentage of classes in training set:
0   0.67064
1   0.32936
Name: booking_status, dtype: float64
Percentage of classes in test set:
0   0.67638
1   0.32362
Name: booking_status, dtype: float64

First, let's create functions to calculate different metrics and confusion matrix so that we don't have to use the same code repeatedly for each model.

  • The model_performance_classification_sklearn function will be used to check the model performance of models.

  • The confusion_matrix_sklearnfunction will be used to plot the confusion matrix.

In [101]:

            for item in cm.flatten()
        ]
    ).reshape(2, 2)

    plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4))
    sns.heatmap(cm, annot=labels, fmt="")
    plt.ylabel("True label")

Building Decision Tree Model¶

Checking model performance on training set

In [104]:
confusion_matrix_statsmodels(model, X_train, y_train)
In [105]:
decision_tree_perf_train = model_performance_classification_sklearn(
    model, X_train, y_train
)
decision_tree_perf_train
Out[105]:
Accuracy Recall Precision F1
0 0.99421 0.98661 0.99578 0.99117
  • Model is able to classify very well all the data points on the training set with very high accuracy of 99.4%, 98.7% of recall , 99.6% of precision and the F1 score of 0.99 - indicating a good trade-off between precision and recall.

Check the performance on test data to see if the model is overfitting

In [106]:
confusion_matrix_statsmodels(model, X_test, y_test)
In [107]:
decision_tree_perf_test = model_performance_classification_sklearn(
    model, X_test, y_test
)
decision_tree_perf_test
Out[107]:
Accuracy Recall Precision F1
0 0.87118 0.81175 0.79461 0.80309

The model's performance on the training set is significantly better than its performance on the test set. This is expected to some extent, as models typically perform better on the data they were trained on. However, the magnitude of the difference between training and test performance is notable.

The accuracy on the training set is exceptionally high (0.99421), indicating that the model almost perfectly predicts the training data. This is a potential sign of overfitting because it suggests that the model has learned the training data too well.

The performance on the test set is lower than on the training set across all metrics, but it's still reasonably good. However, it's not as high as the training performance.

The recall on the test set (0.81175) indicates that the model is still able to capture a good portion of the true cancellations in the test data, but it's lower than the recall on the training set (0.98661).

The precision on the test set (0.79461) suggests that there are more false positives (incorrectly predicted cancellations) compared to the training set (precision of 0.99578).

In conclusion, the model might be exhibiting some degree of overfitting. The exceptionally high performance on the training set, especially in terms of accuracy and precisio.

Let's use pruning techniques to try and reduce overfitting.

Before pruning the tree let's check the important features.

In [108]:
feature_names = list(X_train.columns)
importances = model.feature_importances_
indices = np.argsort(importances)

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
plt.title("Feature Importances")
plt.barh(range(len(indices)), importances[indices], color="violet", align="center")
plt.yticks(range(len(indices)), [feature_names[i] for i in indices])
plt.xlabel("Relative Importance")
plt.show()
  • Lead_time is the most important feature, and avg_price_per_room is also important feature for predicting a booking's cancellation.

Pruning the tree¶

Pre-pruning

Using GridSearch for Hyperparameter tuning of our tree model

Hyperparameter tuning is also tricky in the sense that there is no direct way to calculate how a change in the hyperparameter value will reduce the loss of your model, so we usually resort to experimentation. i.e we'll use Grid search Grid search is a tuning technique that attempts to compute the optimum values of hyperparameters.

It is an exhaustive search that is performed on a the specific parameter values of a model.

The parameters of the estimator/model used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated grid-search over a parameter grid.

  • The decision tree model has undergone simplification, resulting in readable and interpretable rules within the tree.

  • Furthermore, the model's performance has become more generalized, as it demonstrates improved performance on unseen data, compared with the previous one.

  • Therfore, the most important features for the model's predictions are:

  • Lead Time Importance: The first and most significant split in the tree is based on the "lead_time" feature, with a threshold of 151 days. This suggests that the lead time (the time between booking and arrival) is a critical factor in predicting hotel cancellations. Bookings made further in advance may have different cancellation behavior than last-minute bookings.

  • Market Segment: If the booking falls under the "Online" market segment, this implies that the source or channel through which the booking was made can influence the cancellation prediction.

  • Average Price Per Room: The average price per room is used to make further distinctions in the prediction.

Interpretation:

  • The default Decision Tree model achieves the highest training accuracy and precision but slightly lower recall and F1 score compared to the post-pruned model. This model is suffering from overfitting on the training data, leading to poor generalization.

  • The "Decision Tree (Pre-Pruning)" model demonstrates a balanced performance with respectable values for both precision and recall.

  • The "Decision Tree (Post-Pruning)" model performs well on both the training and test sets, achieving a good a high F1 score. But, there is a significant disparity between precision and recall.

  • By using the pre-pruned decision tree model, the hotel can effectively manage resources while preserving brand equity.

Actionable Insights and Recommendations¶

  • What profitable policies for cancellations and refunds can the hotel adopt?
  • What other recommedations would you suggest to the hotel?

To provide profitable policies for cancellations and refunds, as well as other recommendations for the hotel, it's essential to consider both the data analysis and the business context. Here are actionable insights and recommendations:

Dynamic Cancellation and Refund Policies:

* Implement dynamic pricing for cancellations and refunds based on lead time, booking channel, and room type. Charge higher cancellation fees or non-refunding policy for last-minute cancellations.
Offer flexible cancellation options for guests who book well in advance, this can encourage early bookings.

* Lead time is an important feature to predict the cancellation of the book, eg long lead time increases the cancellation booking rate. The hotel can consider to off Early Payment Discounts. This discount or incentives for guests who prepay for their reservations can reduce the risk of cancellations.


Targeted Marketing and Loyalty Programs:

* Identify repeat guests (repeated_guest = 1) and offer them loyalty rewards or discounts to give them incentive to stay again. Repeated guests show a stronger commitment to their booking. It is important to focus on guests loyalty program and retention stretegies.

* Leverage guest data and booking history to create highly personalized marketing campaigns for repeated guests.

* Send targeted email offers and promotions to these guests based on their preferences and past stays.

* Use market segmentation (e.g., market_segment_type) to target specific customer groups with tailored promotions and offers, such as Corporate guests during the weekdays. The hotel can offer discounted corporate rates to business guests, and provide amenities such as high-speed internet and meeting facilities to cater to the needs of corporate guests.

* Engage on Social Media: Connect with repeated guests on social media platforms to foster a sense of community and keep them updated on news and promotions.


Optimize Room Pricing:

* Adjust room pricing based on demand fluctuations (e.g., seasonal trends, special events) to maximize revenue while keeping occupancy rates competitive, for example, the busiest periods between August, Sept, and October. For the less demand period, such as Janunary , the hotel can offer lower price to attract the guests to stay for weekends.


Guest Experience Enhancement:

* Enhance Special Request Handling: Prioritize and streamline the handling of special requests. Ensure that guests' requests are met promptly and efficiently. This helps reduce the cancellation rate.

* Offer special packages or add-ons that cater to common special requests. For example, create a "Romance Package" that includes rose petals, champagne, and chocolates for guests celebrating special occasions.


* Invest in improving overall guest experience, including amenities, customer service, and cleanliness.

* Encourage guests to leave positive reviews and ratings online, as they can influence booking decisions.


Reducing the cancellation rate, especially for online channel bookings , which is one of the main channel for the bookings made, made up of 64% total booking. But the overall cancellatin rate in the online booking channel is quite high, about 36%.

* Personalized Booking Experience:

Use guest data and preferences to personalize the booking experience. For example, suggest room types or add-ons based on previous stays or guest profiles.
*  Real-Time Room Availability:

Ensure that your online booking system accurately reflects real-time room availability. Overbooking can lead to cancellations due to room unavailability.

* Price Match Guarantee:

Offer a price match guarantee, assuring guests that they are getting the best rate by booking directly through your website. This can reduce the incentive to shop around and cancel.

* Incentives for Direct Booking:

Provide incentives for guests to book directly through hotel website or by phone, such as discounts, complimentary amenities, or loyalty points.

* Prepayment Options:

Encourage prepayment or non-refundable rates by offering discounts for guests who are certain about their travel plans. This can reduce the likelihood of cancellations.


* Review Cancellation Reasons:
- Analyze cancellation data to understand the reasons behind cancellations. If a common issue arises (e.g., unexpected changes in plans), consider addressing it through policy adjustments or proactive communication.

* Collaborate with Online Travel Agencies
- Work closely with OTAs to optimize the hotel property's listing, including accurate descriptions, images, and pricing. Build a positive relationship to encourage the online travel agenvies to help reduce cancellations.



Data Analytics:

*  Utilize data analytics to predict potential cancellations. Identify patterns and trends in cancellation behavior to take proactive measures.



Reducing cancellation rates requires a combination of strategic pricing, clear communication, exceptional customer service, and data-driven decision-making.

By implementing these strategies and continuously monitoring their effectiveness, the hotel can minimize cancellations and increase revenue.
